“He is extremely available, and multiple executives expect him to be traded this winter as the Mets look to overhaul their rotation,” Passan wrote on Tuesday.

Senga was an All-Star in his first season in Major League Baseball. In 2023, he made 29 starts and posted a 2.89 ERA with 202 strikeouts. In 2024, he dealt with injuries, pitching in just one regular-season game. He did, however, make a return for the postseason. Last season, Senga was off to a great start, but his season was derailed when he suffered a hamstring injury in June.

Before his injury, Senga had a league-leading 1.47 ERA in 13 starts. He missed about a month, but was not the same upon his return. He had a 4.73 ERA in his next 11 starts, and the Mets eventually sent him to Triple-A to figure things out.

Injuries have been the tale of Senga’s MLB career so far, but when he’s healthy, he has proven to be a star. Craig Breslow noted his desire to add a frontline starter earlier this offseason, and Senga is a high-risk, high-reward option.

He signed a five-year, $75 million deal when the Mets got him from the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks of Nippon Professional Baseball. He is owed $30 million over the next two seasons and has a $15 million conditional club option for 2028.

The option only kicks in if he has Tommy John or a right elbow injury that keeps him on the injured list for more than 130 days. If Senga can stay healthy, his contract begins to look like a bargain.

The Mets are shockingly looking to trade him, and the Red Sox could jump on the opportunity. There are other pitchers available on the market, but Senga is an All-Star whose team is seemingly desperate to move him.
